<div>
Auditing setup is two-fold, one half at the folder, the other half at secpol.msc -&gt;local policies auditing policy - audit object access.
</div>


<div>
Need to search for event such as 4660 - An object was deleted or 4663 - An attempt was made to access an object. 
<blockquote>
Audit events are only generated for objects that have configured system access control lists (SACLs), and only if the type of access requested (such as Write, Read, or Modify) and the account making the request match the settings in the SACL.
</blockquote>
also probably you already may have run the command gpresult /v &gt;C:\gpresult.txt to see the result of group policy

<div>
Am also thinking whether our answers are missing any thing or lacking as I see all referring to auditing.

Hi all.<br />
<br />
I have enabled auditing for our main shared folder (and its subfolders) to log success events on file or folder deletion however when I check the security log in event viewer it is not reporting any of these even over the last couple of months and there should be a good few of them by now. <br />
<br />
Auditing was set as principal: everyone, special permissions of: delete and delete subfolders and files.<br />
<br />
Appreciate any help with this<br />

Not seeing file/folder delete audit results in Security event log

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
